I'm watching but struggling to get excited. Pickford playing out from the back putting defenders under pressure, we simply ain't good enough for that. What's his name on right wing makes me sit up , but not much else. Think I'm just a grumpy fcuker. ☹
Madueke. The Arsenal guy. Probably the only one i like in Arsenal.

FWIW, to me, women's football is irrelevant.
I want to hear from folk who have played in the men's world cup.
I'm sure they're lovely folk, but it's a different game
Id love to be shocked by this but considering your general posting style, I'm not.
I speak to loads of footy fans. Nearly all are a bit miffed that the TV companies bring in a girl they've never heard of.
If you are watching a Liverpool game, do you want to hear from an ex Liverpool player, or a girl you've never heard of?
I'm all for equality, but sometimes it doesn't make sense.
You must have all been livid when the assistant coach you've all never heard of came on at half time

It sort of makes sense and they add the time on at the end so no bad thing.

Rashford's been a pain last few years.
Now we'll get more when we sell him

Hats off, played well 2nd half. Zaka and Rashford ain't a bad pair to bring on. Still not sure about Pickford but it's a good win, well done England.
